No one can ride a mountain for you. Be prepared to feel so tired that you truly believe you cannot go on. Be ready to admit to fatigue and, yes, dejection. There is no such thing as an easy ride up a mountain.

How many bikes is enough?

Just one more! I just realised I don't have a cyclocross bike... Specialized have a new singlespeed TriCross out for 08, and it looks hot. Also a new range of Langsters, this one is the new colour version of mine, no changes in frame or spec though. The other models are all themed by cities where messengers are prominent. Check the full line-up over at SSSS.

Loving the colour scheme of the new standard Langster in the pic, some of the other versions are cool too. Wonder how many versions will make it to NZ? Have set up my Surly a little like that Tricross before, sure does look awesome but riding that as a fixie on pretty much all of Wellington's trails would scare the shit out of me.

About Me

A recovering DJ and musician and lifelong habitual bike rider, my world revolves around pedalling, writing, wrenching and swilling.... Born and bred in Newcastle NSW Australia, I have been living in the windy city of Wellington, New Zealand since January 2007. I came for the mountain biking, and stayed for the... mountain biking and road riding. I don't much care if you don't want to hear about it, I'm going to tell you anyway.
